SEPARATION ANXIETY PORTFOLIO | Going to School & Worries – SPANISH VERSION
$8.00
Separation can cause a lot of stress for families and can also significantly impact upon children’s wellbeing.
The great news is that there are some child-centered approaches and strategies that can support parents to connect with and understand their children’s needs during times of separation and transition. For example when your child heads off to Day Care, Kindergarten or School.
The following portfolio includes strategies and interventions to help strengthen the parent-child relationships while promoting their child’s social and emotional wellbeing throughout separations and transitions.
We explore Separation Anxiety, Attachment and Development and the specific tips for success. Additionally we explore the important role of routines and schedules within a child’s life. A Social Narrative called “Going to School” is included as well as numerous visual support resources for emotions, coping skills and routine posters.

Customer Review –
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! I have printed this out and given this to ALL my families. It is so reassuring and well put together that I literally couldn’t ask for anything better. Parents have told me that they know actually understand their child better and have already adopted the strategies that are working! Thank you so much! This has been a lifesaver for many children transitioning. At the end of our Kindy year we will also be going through the story that is included about going to school to help with their transition! Well done!
